Vic So’oto has been on my radar since he was an ace recruiter for Virginia. After being recently fired as a Clay Helton hire at USC, Karl Dorrell and the Colorado Buffaloes did the smart thing and scooped him up before he left the Pac-12.
So’oto has some deep western roots. He was a multi-sport athlete in Carlsbad, California before starring at BYU along both sides of the line of scrimmage. After his BYU playing career was over, he stuck around in the NFL from 2011 - 2014, which isn’t too bad for an undrafted free agent. Vic then immediately turned to coaching, reuniting with his college coach Bronco Mendenhall at BYU (for one year as an intern) and then Virginia.
